The 1930 Land Apportionment Act legally institutionalized racial land segregation

Evidence

Initiatives for total spatial segregation were formalised with the appointment in 1924 of the Morris Carter Commission to inquire into views about land segregation … The recommendations of the Commission were incorporated into the Land Apportionment Bill that sought to legalise land segregation. The Bill became an Act in 1930, and its provisions were implemented in 1931. Under this Act, land was divided into European Areas, Native Reserves, Native Purchase Areas and Forest Areas … Besides legally instituting racial segregation, the Land Apportionment Act introduced differential tenure categories for the apportioned land areas. — Tavengwa Gwekwerere, Davie E.
